Is my ResMed AirCurve 10 working correctly?

RE: Is my ResMed AirCurve 10 working correctly?
No one said ps5, I was ok with ps2, as it seems was deepbreathing. It was a choice made by oldfart. I don't think a ps 2 or 5 would have changed the chart. the median ps was 9 and 95% PS was 10

I suggested to lift the max pressures out of the way, to let the machine work. This has shown that there may be other factors, because a max IPAP of 24 didn't prevent a H, nor provide enough flow rate. To me it may be a chin tuck or similar positional obstruction. You are good at this stuff sleeprider. Increasing pressure isn't going to resolve this and it should be fixed first. I would then clear the obstructive stuff, then do the CA stuff with the max PS, it may need more than the 12 or the default 15.

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure.

Looks like I miss understood the terminology.  That's why I said I think I was setting the values as per sleepriders instructions. Either way, I decided to go back to the original setting, as I also started waking with pain from bloating. Between the stomach pains and the mask leaks / waking many times during the night, along with no real improvements with the AHI number, I decided to  go back, perhaps those changes were too dramatic of a jump. I would rather not wake during the night and have no bloating discomfort in the morning. 

Again, thanks all for the advice, I will continue to ask questions as I learn more.
